Tyres play a huge role in the safety of your vehicle. By understanding your Tyre tread depth you will know when to replace your tyres and potentially avoid an accident. The law says your tyres must have at least a 1 millimetre tread and if it falls below that figure, you risk hefty fines and points on your license. Some tyres have tread wear indicators in the tread pattern to show when the tread depth is less than 1.6 millimetres. In these cases, if the tread on the tyre is level with these indicators, the tyre must be replaced as it is considered not roadworthy. Without the correct tread, your tyres lose grip easily, and your vehicle becomes unsafe. Tread wear indicator bars are moulded into the tread grooves at regular intervals around the tyre to indicate when a tyre is worn to its limit of safety. When the tyre is worn to the legal limit the bars will be flush with the surface of the tread. While that is the legal requirement some car manufacturers recommend you replace your tyres before they wear to that extent. Furthermore when you enter into your policy conditions with your insurer you enter into an agreement stating that your vehicle will be in a roadworthy condition. If you fail to keep your vehicle in a roadworthy condition and an accident occurs your insurance company can reject your claim. If your tyres are not in good condition your vehicle can be viewed as being unroadworthy, so check your tyres regularly!

In this short informative video we take a quick look at what the difference is between Synthetic vs Mineral Oil. We would like to start by giving a shout and say thank you to Motul for this great video Regardless if you are looking for a Mineral, Semi-Synthetic for Fully Synthetic engine oil Randburg Midas will be able to help you A lubricant is said to be ‘mineral’ when it is based on refined crude oil. Synthetic lubricants use bases from chemical reactions between various components. The process for obtaining a synthetic lubricant, compared with that for obtaining a mineral oil, is more complex and therefore more costly. Nevertheless, synthetic products have superior properties such as resistance to oxidation, allowing them to be used in very severe temperature conditions and/or with a longer period between oil changes. Semi-synthetic oils are obtained by carefully mixing a mineral base and a synthetic base. This produces, at a reasonable cost, properties that are superior to mineral oils since these oils retain the high performance characteristics of the synthetic base.
